Yes I think this is worth a feature request regarding
how to "add_dependencies" on builtin target
(install, package_source, package, etc....)

A possible way to do what you want is to create
your own
package_source_cleanly target
with something like:
ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(package_source_cleanly
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/PackageSourceCleanly.cmake
)
The PackageSourceCleanly.cmake file is your custom CMake script, which
may force an extra CMake execution before calling cpack itself, for example:
MESSAGE(STATUS "Enforce CMake re-run...")
EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} .
TIMEOUT 3600
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
MESSAGE(STATUS "Enforce CMake re-run...Done.")
MESSAGE(STATUS "Package Source running cpack...")
EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND cpack -G TGZ --config CPackSourceConfig.cmake
TIMEOUT 3600
WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
MESSAGE(STATUS "Copy ${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}.tar.gz -->
${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}-${WHO_OUT}-${DATE_OUT}.tar.gz")
EXECUTE_PROCESS(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy
${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}.tar.gz
${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}-clean.tar.gz)
MESSAGE(STATUS "Package backup done in:
${CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME}-clean.tar.gz")
I do use this kind of "trick" for building dated package backup.

You'll find a modified version of the scripts sent by Ioan at that time.
